If you have been to Dianchi Lake, which is located at the foot of the Western Hills to the southwest of Kunming, you know what the "Pearl of the Plateau" means. Being the largest lake in Kunming and the sixth largest fresh water lake in China, Dianchi Lake is 300 square kilometers (116 square miles) in surface area, 1,885 meters (6,185 feet) in altitude and about 40 kilometers (25 miles) in length (from north to south).The west side of Dianchi Lake is the mountain covered with forest, while on the east side are lands dotted with the fisheries and agribusinesses. Traditional fishing boats still sail on the lake, hooking and netting. Taking a boat to voyage between the blue sky and the green water, breathing the fresh air and viewing the birds flying just at your side, what an enjoyable, light-hearted and free moment it is!The ocean-like Dianchi Lake is the best place to go for those people who wish to get away from the bustling city and be close to the nature. Facing such a beautiful and capacious place, one may forget everything even himself, the only thing left is the amazing scenery before you.
